Although exercise interventions have demonstrated benefits in this population, most programs focus on global lower-limb training and rarely target the foot and ankle complex, which plays a key role in postural stability and gait propulsion.\n\nApproximately 60 menopausal women aged 45-65 years will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group performing a structured foot and ankle strengthening program or a control group maintaining their usual physical activity. The intervention will last 12 weeks and will include one supervised weekly session and four home-based sessions.\n\nThe primary outcome will be ankle plantarflexion isometric strength measured by hand-held dynamometry. Secondary outcomes will include ankle strength in other directions, intrinsic foot muscle function, gait speed, spatiotemporal gait parameters, balance, foot-related functional status, and health-related quality of life.",[77,78,79],"Menopause","Musculoskeletal Function","Physical Function","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-10",{"date":83,"type":84},"2026-03-16","ACTUAL",{"date":86,"type":71},"2026-09-01",{"date":88,"type":71},"2027-01-31",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
